Because of the many hardships she endured in her youth, Bai's mother in this life did not live very long; she passed away in the hospital at the age of seventy.
She tremblingly placed Bai Yan's hand, who was already forty years old, into Shen Wuye's hand in front of the sickbed.
"You... are all well." After saying this, Mother Bai closed her eyes.
Bai Yan was already sobbing uncontrollably. Her mother's care and love had made her regard her as her own mother, and the separation from her loved one was naturally heartbreaking.
Shen Wuye pulled her into his arms, promising the person on the sickbed, "Mom, I will take good care of Xiaoyan."
For the rest of the decades, just as he had promised Bai's mother, Shen Wuye, from twenty to forty, and then to eighty, whether she was a white-collar worker or a world-renowned master outside, was always the young girl who had looked at him with her eyes sparkling back then.
Shen Wuye passed away at the age of ninety-two. Two days after his death, Bai Yan, whose hair had turned white, also closed his eyes.
...
When Bai Yan woke up again, she felt as if she was holding her breath, and her breathing became unusually difficult. She struggled to get out of bed and immediately noticed that her legs were now thicker than the three legs she had before!
When she looked up again, a familiar yet unfamiliar face came into view in the mirror—fat that made her feel like a stranger.
He has gained weight, his hair is dry, and his eyes are lifeless.
Looking around at the empty lunch boxes and the bottles of wine scattered on the ground, it was clear that the original owner's physical and mental condition was very poor.
With her eyes closed, Bai Yan pieced together the plot of this world. It was the world of a rebirth novel, telling the story of the female protagonist, Chen Lian, who was unexpectedly reborn and obtained a system, thus embarking on a refreshing life of face-slapping and counterattack.
The original owner was the one who got slapped in the face.
The female protagonist, Shen Lian, is an ordinary, unremarkable entertainer in the entertainment industry. She has an average appearance and no privileged family background, and has spent her entire life as an extra, remaining unknown. However, unexpectedly, on her deathbed, Shen Lian is bound to a 'Movie Queen System.' Through this system, she learns that the world she inhabits is actually just a novel.
The novel's female protagonist is the original owner of the body who debuted at the same time as Shen Lian. The original owner had a smooth career in the entertainment industry. Her first role became a hit, and she became known as the "nation's first love." Her career continued to rise, and after winning the Best Actress award, she married the domineering male protagonist.
After her rebirth, Shen Lian, empowered by the 'Actress System,' overwhelmingly outshone the original owner of the body among her peers. During several acting competitions, Shen Lian unexpectedly discovered that seizing the 'Female Lead's' luck could upgrade the Actress System and increase her own charm points.
So Shen Lian subtly provoked the original owner, using her various embarrassing moments to upgrade her 'Best Actress System', and with her improved looks and charm, she hooked up with various influential figures in the entertainment industry.
With the help of those influential figures, Chen Lian improved her acting skills with the help of the luck upgrade system, while also enhancing her looks and charm. In the end, even the entertainment industry prince, a high-ranking government official, and the original owner's husband from her previous life all fell at her feet and couldn't get enough of her.
The story ends open-ended; Shen Lian didn't choose any of them because they were all her true loves, and she couldn't bear to part with any of them.
Bai Yan: ……
If the protagonist whose 'luck' was stolen wasn't himself, then this would indeed be a satisfying story.
Bai Yan smiled and said, "'Movie Queen System' sounds a bit like a robber system."
Just like the system that bound her before.
Recalling the thousands of years of shackled life, Bai Yan's gaze turned somewhat cold.
Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Bai Yan, are you home?"
Before Bai Yan could answer, the sound of a key turning could be heard at the door, and the door was quickly opened.
Bai Yan looked up and saw a handsome man in an expensive suit. When he saw Bai Yan, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.
This is the original owner's agent—Shen Haiqiao.
On the surface, he seemed to care a lot about the original owner, but in reality, he was a traitor who had long fallen in love with Shen Lian. Three years ago, when the original owner was "acting like a diva" and was put on a soft blacklist, Shen Haiqiao, the agent, did a lot of work to help.
The reason why Shen Haiqiao hasn't terminated his contract with the original owner yet is because Shen Lian is afraid that if the original owner dies, she won't be able to get any more energy, so she has Shen Haiqiao, this sycophant, occasionally take care of the original owner.
But it was in this way that Shen Lian discovered another way to get energy by exploiting others. The original owner liked Shen Haiqiao, and as long as Shen Haiqiao was nearby, every time the original owner made a fool of herself or felt uncomfortable, she could get points.
Every time Shen Haiqiao helped the original owner out of a predicament, the original owner became more and more dependent on him and couldn't live without him.
These two people, one wielding a knife to kill, the other wielding medicine to heal, were like a living donkey whose flesh was cut off, then healed before being cut off again.
After Shen Haiqiao came in, he frowned when he saw the trash and beer bottles all over the room.
"Xiao Yan, it's just a minor role. Don't be discouraged if you weren't chosen. You still have me," Shen Haiqiao said gently.
Bai Yan lowered her eyes and remembered that the original owner's drinking problem was because the role that Shen Haiqiao had worked so hard to "earn" was snatched away by a newcomer in the company.
Shen Haiqiao adjusted his glasses, concealing the disdain deep in his eyes: "Don't worry, I used my connections to get you a role in an acting-related variety show. You're already a good actor, and this show is on Tomato TV. Maybe after you participate in the show, good scripts will come your way."
"However... your current weight is not quite right."
